Kama Sutra - 5,545 words
Kama Sutra PREFACE IN the literature of all
countries there will be found a certain number of
works treating especially of love. Everywhere the
subject is dealt with differently, and from
various points of view. In the present publication
it is proposed to give a complete translation of
what is considered the standard work on love in
Sanscrit literature, and which is called the
`Vatsyayana Kama Sutra', or Aphorisms on Love, by
Vatsyayana. While the introduction will deal with

horses and elephants train these animals without
knowing the science of training animals, but from
practice only. And similarly the people of the
most distant provinces obey the laws of the
kingdom from practice, and because there is a king
over them, and without further reason.1 And from

Beat Generation As Expressed in Allen Ginsberg's

and described the pleasure that he had first known
as a prince, and the life of severe asceticism
that he had practiced. Neither of these was the
true path to Nirvana. The true path was the Middle
Way, which keeps aloof from both extremes. "To
satisfy the necessities of life is not evil," the
Buddha said. "To keep the body in good health is a
duty, for otherwise we shall not be able to trim
the lamp of wisdom and keep our mind strong and
clear." Buddha then taught them the Dharma, which
consisted of the Four Noble Truths and the
Eightfold Path. The five holy men and others soon
joined Buddha, accompanying him everywhere. As
more joined, Buddha ...

Buddhism In Life there is suffering. This spurs on
the unending search for universal truth and
meaning. Jodo Shinsu is an answer to this search.

of the Nembutsu with self-reflection. It involves
hearing the call of Amida Buddha, the Buddha of
Eternal Life and Infinite Light, Compassion and
Wisdom, within others' or ours recitation of the
Name. Which calls us to raise our spiritual
perspectives beyond immediate ego interests to
universal concerns for compassion, justice in the
human community and concern for the life of
nature. The hole of life is Nembutsu. A life lived
in awareness, that we ourselves are the
expressions, the manifestations, of ...

with the massive power of innumerable virtues and
good deeds, which he performed over many eons of

Vow, and became Amida Buddha. In the Larger Pure
Land Sutra, which Shinran referred to in his

Teaching, Sakyamuni describes in detail the

Modern Poets Anyone who has read a fair sampling
of modernist poetry or studied some representative
visionary poets has found the experience something
of a revelation. Immediately exhilarating for
some, initially intimidating for others and, for
all of us, a profound departure from traditional
literature. According to Rimbaud, for a poet to be
absolutely modern he must become a visionary and a
poet makes himself a visionary through a long,
boundless and systematized disorganization of all
the senses. All forms of love, of suffering, of
madness, he searches himself, he exhausts within
himself all poisons and preserves their
quintessences. Rimbauds ...

view of some, that the world is a very strange
place. Once upon a time, four men and a woman all
wished they could meet the perfect person. Each in
his or her own way received a message to be at a
certain bar at a time and at the third stool from
the left, the perfect person would be sitting. The
